Keeping Compromises from Becoming Breaches

The stakes have never been higher as businesses attempt to protect their assets from a barrage of threats that continue to grow in frequency and sophistication. These efforts have traditionally centered on perimeter-based cyber defenses. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), antivirus (AV), firewalls, next generation firewalls (NGFW), unified threat management (UTM) platforms, and vulnerability management (VM) are among the technologies used (and needed) to stop miscreants from entering the network.

However, even the most advanced cyber security teams acknowledge that user accounts, systems and networks WILL be compromised, regardless of the prevention measure in place. It’s amidst this reality that organizations are exploring new, more effective ways to detect and respond when the inevitable occurs.

In this webinar we will explore how unified security intelligence is empowering organizations to accelerate their mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-respond (MTTR) to compromises and avoid material breaches. Chris Kissel, industry analyst from Frost & Sullivan will start with a quick update on the state of SIEM and how next-gen SIEM has evolved to deliver true security intelligence through a number of new capabilities including behavioral analytics, network and endpoint monitoring and analytics, as well as advanced search capabilities.

Today’s hackers often favour the phishing email as their weapon of choice. Phishing attacks are not only common, but are also very difficult to defend against. What if you could detect and mitigate a phishing attack before its intended target clicks on that fatal link or opens that malicious attachment?

When your Exchange server is in the Office 365 cloud, solutions such as constant inbox scanning or relying on synchronous mail flow aren’t viable options. Instead, you can find a strong defence against phishing emails in the Message Tracking log in Exchange.

The Message Tracking log is available in both on-prem Exchange and Office 365 Cloud’s Exchange Online. Message Tracking logs include valuable information about the client, servers, sender, recipients, message subject, and more. If you can access this information and know how to mine it, you can detect likely phishing emails.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

- Recognise the format of message tracking logs
- Pull message tracking logs from Office 365 using PowerShell’s Get-MessageTrackingLog cmdlet
- Work through a list of checks to perform against message tracking events to detect phishing emails
- Move suspect emails to a sandbox where you can use analysis tools like PhishTank, ThreatGRID, or OpenDNS
- Remove copies of phishing emails from other recipients
- Automatically detect and respond to phishing attacks with no analyst intervention
- To optimise your phishing response efficiency, LogRhythm has introduced a new open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE). PIE is a PowerShell framework focused on phishing attack detection and response.

Register for the webinar now to discover how you can use LogRhythm’s PIE and Office 365 to better detect and respond to phishing attacks.

Hackers have determined a number of ways to harvest privileged account credentials and use them to infiltrate networks. This makes monitoring privileged account usage critical to reducing your organisation’s cyber risk.

The good news is that Windows provides event ID 4672, which is logged whenever an account signs in with admin user rights.

Event ID 4672 contains valuable information, such as user name, computer name and privileges, and logon session ID. Administrative users will always have one or more of the rights that trigger event 4672.

The cyberattack surface is growing as organisations implement technologies such as the cloud or the internet of things (IoT). As a result, the traditional perimeter defence approach to security is no longer enough to protect your network.

In this webinar, Erik Bartholomy, security architect at LogRhythm, joins Gal Shpantzer, independent security consultant, to outline ways to build a comprehensive set of defences that can keep up with today’s cyberattacks.

You’ll discover how to:

- Develop a Zero Trust security framework

- Align IT security with business strategy and current threats

- Adapt architecture to accommodate different environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud

Watch now to learn how you can keep your network safe in the face of an evolving cyberattack surface.

2017 has been another year full of front-page computer security events and incidents. Headlines have bulged with state-sponsored attacks, ransomware, leaks, and a continuing wave of data breaches.

In this webcast, Ryan Sommers, threat research manager, and Erika Noerenberg, senior malware analyst, recap 2017 and discuss the biggest breaches and events, including WannaCry and NotPetya. The pair will provide valuable threat intelligence and key defensive strategies to help you improve your security operations in 2018.

2017 is not yet over and it's already the year of cyber attacks. From phishing, to hacks, to classified hacking tools leaked and the biggest ransomware attacks to date (Wannacry, NotPetya), security professionals across the world are looking to apply the lessons learned in 2017 for improved cyber security next year.

Watch this interactive Q&A panel with experts from the artificial intelligence, deep learning and IoT security space to learn about:
- The biggest attack trends seen so far
- Impact across industries

Phishing campaigns are among the most common and damaging cyberattacks. Despite how common and successful phishing attacks are, often times organisations and their employees are ill-prepared to handle these threats.

In this webinar, Greg Foss, LogRhythm Manager of Global Security Operations, Paul Asadoorian, Security Weekly CEO and Founder, and John Strand, Black Hills Information Security Owner and Security Analyst, discuss phishing attacks and how you can protect yourself from them. Additionally, the three go on to discuss how LogRhythm’s open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE), can help streamline and automate the entire process of tracking, analysing, and responding to phishing emails.

Watch now to learn how LogRhythm is helping to automate the detection and response to phishing attacks.

Alongside an expanding attack surface resulting from the growth of cloud, mobile and IoT, organisations are now increasingly faced by internal threats. Insider threats, compromised accounts, administrator abuse and other user-based threats are some of the most damaging vulnerabilities and the hardest to detect. This has led to the evolution of user and entity-based analytics (UEBA) solutions, designed to address user based threats, and through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning these solutions are advancing threat detection capabilities in modern security operation centers.

Do you believe you have what it takes to secure your network? Find out how you can successfully detect attackers or penetration testers by monitoring and analysing your network data in this Security Weekly webcast.

This talk will guide you through securing your network the smart way and closing commonly exploited holes often left open by defenders.

Building fortresses has long ceased to be an option. Rather, the IT security focus has moved to dealing with the inevitable breaches as quickly, thoroughly and efficiently as possible – disarming threats before any real damage can be done. This means reducing risk to the business by cutting the mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).

During this video we’ll be looking at how businesses can better protect themselves by adopting an end-to-end process known as threat lifecycle management (TLM), with a focus on improving the effectiveness of both detection and response.

SANS' 2016 survey of incident response (IR) capabilities indicated that the IR landscape was ever changing. Advanced industries were able to maintain effective IR teams, but it identified hurdles responders face to increase the efficiency of their IR teams.

In this SANS Incident Response Survey webcast, James Carder, LogRhythm CISO & VP of LogRhythm Labs, joins industry experts to explore the results of the fourth annual SANS survey on incident response. Together they'll provide insight into the maturity of IR processes and functions spanning a variety of environments.

This webinar will focus on the cultural shift from tightly controlled business networks of yesterday to the converged fabric adopted by businesses today. BYOD is becoming a normality for most organisations and it doesn't have to be a heavy burden for security teams with the right policies, people and technology in place. We'll dive into some of the options available for these challenges in this webinar and how having the right BYOD strategy can play an integral role in an organisation's preparation for EU GDPR compliance.

We’ll address:
- The security options available today to enable an efficient and safe BYOD strategy
- How implementing a strong BYOD strategy can help compliance
- How you can reduce the risk of suffering a damaging cyber-breach

Globally, sophisticated cyber-attacks are compromising organisations at an unprecedented rate and with devastating consequences. Today’s hackers are motivated by a wide range of objectives that include financial gain, industrial espionage, cyber-warfare, and terrorism. The odds that your organisation will be compromised are high with a recent report indicating that 76 percent of surveyed organisations suffered a data breach in 2016. Organisations increasingly expect that it’s not if they will be compromised, but rather when will they be compromised.

The NotPetya pandemic that started in late June and disrupted the operations across companies, utilities, government agencies across France, Russia, Spain, Ukraine and the United States, happened just weeks after the WannaCry ransomware attack. Was NotPetya a financially motivated ransomware attack or an act of cyberwar?

Watch this on-demand Q&A session with industry experts and hear answers to questions your peers have asked on the Petya/NotPetya pandemic.

Preventing attackers from gaining control of network endpoints is difficult. Your preventative controls might stop such an event, but defence-in-depth best practices recommend a multi-layered security approach to protect your organisation.

In this webcast, Seth Goldhammer, Director of Product Management at LogRhythm, joins Randy Franklin Smith, Windows Security subject matter expert, to discuss how to detect attackers in various stages of the Cyber Attack Lifecycle. The duo examines Windows and Windows Firewall events including:

* 4798—A user's local group membership was enumerated
* 4799—A security-enabled local group membership was enumerated
* 4627—Group membership information
* 6416—A new external device was recognised by the system

They also show how LogRhythm’s analytics can recognise progression along the Cyber Attack Lifecycle, while increasing risk scoring with each progression, and how LogRhythm can infer additional context about a user during analysis.
